While a big majority of people all over the world oppose that, they are not completely alone in this. In the Netherlands, ever since 1971, there is the neo-nazi party Nederlandse Volksunie. Its present fuehrer is Constant Kusters.

On a propaganda video, published 26 June 2014 on the NVU site (no, I am not linking to it), Kusters spoke on the present violence in Iraq. He claimed the solution was abolishing the present countries Syria and Iraq, and dividing them into apartheid Sunni, Shia, and Kurdish statelets. Looking at the partition of, eg, Yugoslavia in the 1990s, this is a recipe for bloody ethnic cleansing. Sunni, Shia, Kurdish, Christian, Yazidi, atheist, etc. etc. people, living in the ‘wrong’ ‘new Bantustan’ would then be killed or driven away violently.

Kusters claimed the way to arrive at this ‘solution’ was the United States armed forces waging war in Iraq once again ‘as they already have years of experience waging war there‘.

Sometimes, the NVU claims to be ‘against imperialism’. So, Kusters now exposes the spuriousness of that claim.

It reminds me of British nazi Daniel Lake of the BNP, sister party of the NVU.

Daniel Lake first came to public attention in the run up to the attack on Iraq when he wrote a series of letters to the Swindon Advertiser, saying that everyone who opposed the war was a coward and a traitor, and that he intended to join the paratroop regiment so he could fight.

Being called cowards caused some anger with the many ex-forces men and women who opposed the war, many of whom have faced enemy fire in the service of this country.

One old soldier, Allan Thipthorpe, who both opposed the Iraq war and had fought in Palestine during the mandate, offered to meet Daniel Lake, but Daniel didn’t have the bottle for it.

Anyway, despite mentioning his determination to join up more than once, time came and went, and Daniel noticeably stayed in Swindon, and did not enlist.

It seems he could be very mouthy when it was a question of sending someone else’s brother, husband or son to die in Iraq, but he wasn’t so keen on it himself.

Then lo and behold, in May 2006, Daniel was observed handing out BNP leaflets in Swindon saying that the BNP opposed the war in Iraq.

So Daniel, in his own terms was both a coward and a traitor?

One can also go back further in history. Hitler and Mussolini, Kusters’ historical rode models, sometimes criticized British or French imperialism. Meanwhile, Mussolini massacred many Africans in Libya and Ethiopia, Italian colonies then.

As for nazi Germany: prominent nazi Hermann Göring was the son of the governor of German South-West Africa (today: Namibia). The nazi paramilitary stormtroopers SA wore brown uniforms, originally intended for German soldiers in the colonies which Germany lost after World War I. In the 1930s, there was the Reichskolonialbund (Imperial colonial league), an organisation within the nazi party, aimed at reconquering the German colonies in Africa and Oceania. British Conservative Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain was willing to return some African colonies to Germany; but not enough, according to Hitler, which contributed to Hitler starting World War II.

Revelations from the inquiry into British abuses in Iraq are the inevitable outcome of military adventures, writes IAN SINCLAIR: here.
